The Yrefy
Student Loan Calculator
Student loans can add up fast. Use this calculator to see exactly what your monthly payment looks like, and how much you'll pay in interest over time. You can also simulate what it looks like if you pay bi-weekly or monthly, and how that changes when you'll finally be done paying.
At Yrefy we offer student loan refinancing for struggling or defaulted borrowers. We have built a student loan refinance calculator to help delinquent or defaulted borrowers understand how we can help them take control of their money and say hello to their debt-free future.

Repayment snapshot
This could be your new monthly payment
See how much goes to principal versus interest and how extra payments change the timeline.
Monthly vs Bi-Weekly Payments
This calculator uses a standard amortization formula. Bi-Weekly accelerated mode applies half of the monthly payment every two weeks, which results in the equivalent of 13 full payments per year and may reduce total interest and shorten payoff time.

Track how each payment is split between principal and interest over time.
How the Yrefy Student Loan Calculator Works
Estimate your payment, interest, and payoff
This calculator will estimate your monthly loan payment, total repayment, payoff timing, and how extra payments may reduce the total repayment amount. It also includes an amortization schedule that shows how each payment will be applied over the life of the loan.
Enter your loan information and get a breakdown of your payments and payoff timeline.
Key Inputs You’ll Need:
- Loan Amount: Your total outstanding balance of all your current student loans. If you have multiple loans, enter the combined total.
- Interest Rate: Enter your current interest rate. Not sure what it is? Check your most recent statement or contact your loan servicer.
- Repayment Term: Select how long you expect to repay the loan. A shorter term usually means higher monthly payments with less interest paid overall. A longer term lowers your monthly payment but increases the total interest paid over time.
- Extra Monthly Payment: Use this section if you plan to pay more than the minimum each month.
- Bi-Weekly Payments vs. Monthly Payments: Splitting your payment in half and paying every two weeks results in one extra full payment per year.
When changing from extra monthly payments to bi-weekly vs monthly payments, make sure you click calculate after your selection to see the calculations for your new selection.
What Your Student Loan Calculation Includes
- Estimated Monthly Payment: This is an estimate of what you owe each month, covering both principal and interest.
- Total Repayment Amount: The total you could pay back over the life of the loan, including interest. Adjusting your term or rate in the calculator shows you how this number can change.
- Total Interest Paid: How much of what you pay goes to interest rather than your actual principal balance.
- Extra Monthly Payment Impact: Even a small amount above your minimum each month can shorten your loan term and reduce the interest you pay. Enter an extra payment to see how much difference it can make.
- Amortization Schedule: A month-by-month breakdown of how the balance decreases, and how your payment is split between principal and interest.
